New Art Journal covers

have finally been completed except for extra coats of acrylic mediums. I made chipboard tiles from painted deli papers and glued to an old scrap book that was eventually going to the dump. I love recycling. Everytime I am about to pitch something out I try and think of a new way to use it instead of just dumping it.

Back

The tiles were all cut to the same size after gluing the paper on my substrate. The ends were lightly filed with an emery board and stained with black paint; and glued to the entire front and back of the book. The binder has rings inside to add as many pages as I would like. Let me know what you think about this creation.
